Kentex/JSDF/Ground Self-Defense Force Solar Standard/S715M-01 Green

The official logos of the Army, Navy, and Air Force engraved on the dials of the Kentex-JSDF series are provided by the Ministry of Defense Joint Staff Office.

In addition, in anticipation of frequent interactions with other countries through overseas assignments, the JAPAN (national flag) mark is also designed on the dial.
This watch is not just a solar-powered watch; it is designed to be one that will give soldiers a sense of Japanese pride and courage every time they look at their wrist.

The solar panel, which takes up most of the dial area, is colored based on the uniforms of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. In addition, the design makes the emblem stand out across the entire panel. In addition, with regard to the crucial power supply, charging performance has been improved so that it can be charged not only from sunlight but also from indoor light, supporting activities regardless of the field or time.

The indexes and hands are coated with luminous paint for excellent visibility even in dark places. The Kentex JSDF Solar Standard is a model in the Self-Defense Forces series equipped with solar power generation capabilities, and is powerful enough to serve as the power source needed to carry out demanding missions, day or night.

When the stored energy is low, the second hand moves at two-second intervals (power depletion warning function). It also has a quick-start function that restarts the watch in just a few seconds when exposed to sunlight. This is truly a watch worthy of being called the "Japan Self-Defense Forces standard wristwatch."

The ballistic nylon used for the band is more than five times stronger than regular nylon. It is strong enough to be used in bulletproof vests. Metal eyelets enhance the strength and create a sense of hardness. The buckle and crown top feature the "JSDF" logo.

The logos of the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces engraved on the case back are official logos provided by the Japan Joint Staff Office. The Ground Self-Defense Force logo is based on the motif of "cherry blossom stars and cherry blossom leaves," the Maritime Self-Defense Force logo is "anchor and cherry blossoms," and the Air Self-Defense Force logo is "hawk, sun, moon, and starry space, and soaring wings," with the words "Ministry of Defense Ground Self-Defense Force," "Ministry of Defense Maritime Self-Defense Force," and "Ministry of Defense Air Self-Defense Force" written above.

Additionally, because Kentex JSDF watches are often used as event or commemorative items at the request of units and personnel, a blank space is left below the logo, and it is intended that various text, such as the name of the ceremony, the year, the unit name, or the name of the ship, can be added.

The design of the case back may be subject to change due to manufacturer reasons. The photo on the left shows the design as of June 2018.

The watch is equipped with a highly accurate and reliable Japanese quartz movement.
The internal movement reflects the quality of "Made in Japan" - producing high-quality products at low prices - and Kentex's simple philosophy is evident.

Japanese brand "Kentex" has released a solar-powered watch from the JSDF (Ministry of Defense) series. Kentex continues to produce practical military watches with the cooperation of the Self-Defense Forces and by listening to the voices of those on the front lines. The case back features the official logos of the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces. This is the only watch in Japan that is registered as a "Ministry of Defense Headquarters Contract Product." The Kentex JSDF series watches are not only practical for private use, but also attractive for their cost performance and low price range.

*The image is of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, but the products sold here will be engraved with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.

The above is an example of engraved text as a gift to celebrate passing an exam.
